17 days po
Well, feeling better....the first week i had a lot of help from my husband and mom...day 5 or 6 i was left alone with my kids...napped my 1 yo on the flr as well as feeding him there too...until my husband could get home and take over.
He's been a huge help, even more then with my two c sections!! Haha men!
So, today i feel over all good. My upper back has been bothering me more then the actual implants...the incision pain is barely noticable. Ill maybe take one dose of tylenol a day now. Btw i stopped taking percocet by day 3. Its icky, i didnt like it. Occasionally, ill take a half at bed if the day was tough and im feeling it in my chest.
I feel fine lifting my 1yr old started at about 9 days po even tho ps recommended to wait 2 wks i couldnt...but i was and am very careful.
although i do feel so good, i was playfully lift him and got a shooting pain in my left! Took 2 days for it to get bk to normal so i need to really watch it!
Ps recommended covering incisions with surgy tape for i believe 6wks? So i change it about every other day. I like that, bcz i see many people with split incisions and infections...im glad mine are covered.
The incisions are still thick feeling. My right breast seems to be bigger and higher then the left. Feeling better tho, man the recovery is rough...just bcz im thrown back into the game, i want to exercise and do everything right away.
Honestly tho, my back ache is the most annoying part of all this.
Sleeping on my side now and raising my arms up no problem.
Will update more as time passes....

day 3
Took off Bandage last night with the hubs to take a shower. They are soooo riding high! They look small, but i know they will settle. I also got a lift and a nipple reduction...sorry the nips are covered in one...used that pic for another site. Yesterday, the pain kept creeping up on me so instead of taking 1 perc im taking 1.5 seems to keep it under control. Want to help my husband with things but cant! Im afraid to pop a stitch! Honestly, having netflix marathons and trying to control pain. I think today ill get up and move around a bit. I think its more the lift that is causing me pain, the incisions burn. the incisions look amazing. And this bloating is not even funny! Its like an air bloat. Ugh.
made it!
A little high right now, so bare with me!
Surgery went well. I believe i was in there for a bout4 hours! All the nurses said my doctor is a meticulous surgeon, so thats good!
Well, i cant say i was too nervous waiting...the anesthesiologist gave me something in my iv which made me feel nice warm and carefree. He put a mask on me and said it was oxygen and i passed out waking in recovery.
When they wheeled me bk to my room my husband was waiting.
Im wrapped in a tube top type bandage and i have yet to take a peek. Honestly from above they look small!
Tomorrow my husband will help me change it and i will get some pix.
He fit 350cc, i thought it was going to mod plus but ended ip with high profile...which is what i was leaning toward anyway...he said they were a better fit for my narrow chest.
Keeping up on the pain meds and have a patch behind my ear for quesy control!
Also taking ducolax.
Hard getting in and out of bed but managable. Drinking TONS of water to flush out the bloat.
The pain is not too bad with the meds, towards the end of a pill wearing off it burns a little feels like engorgment when ur milk comes in...
Slept the anesthesia off yesterday so i am up at 3 am!
Will get pictures soon! ;)
